HELPING TO FIND THE RIGHT LINER & SOCKS FOR PRACTITIONER AND PATIENT

Traditionally, liner and sock selection is a subjective process that relies heavily on clinical experience. With a wider range of products available than ever before, prosthetists and their patients may benefit from quantitative data that helps distinguish products from one another. The purpose of this research is to mechanically test liners and socks, disseminate the results to the field in an easy to understand format, and create novel technologies to facilitate quantitative measurement in the clinic.
